NWIEP's got the Dragon Factor Take II
09 March 2010
Following on from the success of 'NWIEP's got the Dragon
Factor!', the North West Improvement and Efficiency Partnership
(NWIEP) are running 'Take II' to allocate the remaining funds
of £0.9million.
NWIEP holds that improvement must be three things:
- Supportive
- Sector-led
- Sustainable.
The latest round of capital funding available totals £0.9million
and is available for capital projects that propose efficiency
savings through innovative approaches.
In order to allocate the funds to the most appropriate projects
in a transparent manner, NWIEP and its sub-regional partners will
be hosting a 'Dragon's Den' styled pitch event.
All proposals must be submitted to one of the five sub-regions
that cover the North West. The projects
that the sub-regions judge to be robust in fulfilling the criteria
will be put forward to the regional final. At the final applicants
will be expected to 'pitch' to a panel of judges who will question
and score your proposal using information gained from both the
presentation and the answers to questions derived from the criteria
template.
If your project covers a wider area and has no obvious
sub-region, please choose one as a 'host'. This will not
impact on whether or not you get funding as there is no specified
funding split by sub-region. The sub-regions are:
- Lancashire
- Greater Manchester
- Merseyside
- Cheshire and Warrington
- Cumbria
All proposals must complete the accompanying criteria forms
using the guidance given below and submit them to your host
sub-region in order to qualify for funding. NWIEP reserves
the right to disqualify/discount any pitch that fails to meet the
criteria laid out in the forms. It is therefore strongly
recommended that you read the guidance notes carefully.
